Russia, Vietnam deepen military ties, data-sharing on 'unfriendly' states

Russia and Vietnam agreed to strengthen military cooperation and exchange data on 'unfriendly' countries, with Putin offering visa-free access to Vietnamese citizens. This signals a deepening of the Russia-Vietnam axis amid Western sanctions, potentially complicating Vietnam's balanced foreign policy. The scope of data exchange and military cooperation remains unspecified, and the impact on regional security dynamics is uncertain.
